Recommendation

As a parent, it’s your responsibility to teach your children financial literacy, setting them up to have “millionaire mind-sets” later in life, explain finance experts Loral Langemeier and Kyle Boeckman. Schools teach children little about entrepreneurship, money or investment, so the authors urge parents to pick up the slack. Both Boeckman and Langemeier come from farming backgrounds, and understand that as you must slowly tend to your harvest, you must also take consistent, sequential actions to build long-term financial abundance. They offer a workable program for building your enduring legacy and intergenerational wealth.

Create a new narrative of financial freedom and abundance. Let that new money story reprogram your mind and guide you to creating a better financial reality for your family.

Leave the “lifestyle cycle” – a way of living dominated by expenses and liabilities – behind and step into the “wealth cycle,” where you focus on generating income and buying assets. Entering the wealth cycle requires transforming any negative beliefs about money.

Encourage your child to talk about money.
